Looks like I'm going to have to work real hard to get in shape for September elk season.

Not one of my brighter moments, but it was elk hunting! :dunno:

A friend of mine may come with us this year which would be a great help as he has a mule he could bring :) so I still have hope for a good year of hunting.
I'll update this as time goes on.
Thanks again,

I broke my ankle and screwed up tendons and ligaments while goose hunting (the shame of it!) and had to walk out from the desert canyon I was in at the time. About two miles and it was somewhat painful and quite slow but made it in about 3.5 hours. Foot turned really dark purple and black but had to stay an extra day to let my friends finish the hunt. Doctor was most unhappy with me when I went to the emergency room. Had a no walk cast and lots of pain for three months. Rehab took a few more and while I thought I would be hunting in the fall season, I did go but was probably lucky that I didn't get anything cause I hunt solo and realize now that I probably would never have gotten it out with out losing most of the meat.
So...............listen to your doctors and let it heal properly. Its better to have many later seasons in good shape than screwing it up really good and never being normal again!
The voice of experience has just talked to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rough sport. I spent all Saturday at a soccer Tourny in the Tri cities watching U8. Looked pretty damn dangerous to me. :yike:
One of the power players put the hammer down and got the ref in the balls. Folded the young lad. I don't think he was wearing a cup. LOL

The next couple days will probably be the hardest time then it should get better. Go back in a couple weeks to get a hard cast, then it's 6 yo 8 weeks on crutches with no weight on the foot at all.
They said they will give me a CD with my ex-rays on it. Love that stuff. I'll try and post some when I get it.

Fred’s Ankle Adventure
OK, This first couple of pictures (x-ray) was the day after it happened. These first two pictures are better then it looked at the hospital the night before. The doctor at the emergency tried to reset the ankle but as you can see he didn’t do so well. But it did look better then before. The reason the ankle is so out of joint is two of three ligaments were torn as well.

Once you can swim a half mile in the pool, you should be good to go.

Right now by fracture still is not completely healed but I have been free to do PT which is helping me get some stability in my ankle. My surgeon has given me the green light to go hunting if I continue to progress up until then. I over worked it one day which put me back a few days but I believe I will be going and at least be able to walk some good fairly level trails, logging roads and put in a few miles a day.
All I really hope to do is be able to call in something for my Father. I know a couple easy to get to places that we can work for a few days at a time without to much effort.
So I am way excited...! I just need to not do anything stupid either before I leave or while I'm there.
Good luck to all of you and I'll let you know how it turns out.

Didn't have that long deck screw though. Did it in summer of 95. Hunted that fall.
TITANIUM STAYS COLD when you're out in the woods! The first two years I was oh so careful and not as careful as I should have been several times. I always had this uneasy feeling when hiking rough/rocky terrain. Then, in 99 (or 98, I don't remember)' I had the plate and screws removed. Much better! Foot stays warm now. It still hurts once in a while when I over do it. -Yeah many years later.
